No Data No Charge: guaranteed recovery of your files or there's no charge.

How Can a RAID 50 Server Fail?

RAID 50 Controller or Component Failure can take place at anytime leaving you scrambling to recover your data. When a RAID 50 controller, motherboard, RAM, power supply or back-plane fail, it can result in a lost RAID 50 configuration, false positive drive failures and more. RAID 50 controller or component failures can be caused by electrical surges, overheating or age. If you believe your RAID 50 controller has failed, its vital that you power down your server and stop attempting recovery yourself.

Multiple Drive Failure: RAID 50 can sustain a maximum of one drive per RAID 5 set to fail consecutively without loosing access to your data. If two drives fail from the same set consecutively, all access to your RAID 50 data will be lost and you will need our professional data recovery services to recover your data.

What to Do When Your RAID 50 Fails!

If your RAID 50 fails and you lose access to your data, we highly recommend you turn your server off and do not continue any recovery, restore or rebuild attempts yourself. It's extremely common for your company to put pressure on you to get the server up and running so they can gain access to their data. After all, the data is critical and your company may be losing business or even completely down without access to it. We understand that this is a serious situation but what happens if you lose the data forever? We can provide the safest environment for the recovery attempt possible and we offer 24/7 emergency data recovery to get you back up and running quickly if you need your data fast.

Our experience and case studies show that this is where data is lost, companies go out of business and IT guys are fired or lose their contracts. We don't want that to happen to you. We want to make you the hero.

We see many cases every month where
certified technicians or IT guys accidentally destroy any chance of recovery because they attempted to recover, rebuild or restore their RAID 50 data themselves. This error usually happens because of ignorance, lack of training and pressure applied by the company who has lost their data.

Because RAID 50 is extremely complex with multiple RAID 5 arrays striped together, it's critical that the RAID 50 data recovery is completed by one of File Savers experienced and specialized RAID engineers.

About RAID 6

RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 hard drives. The maximum number of hard drives is limited to its controller but we recover RAID 6 servers with 10 drives or more regularly.

RAID 6 uses block based striping and it distributes double parity across the drives giving you double redundancy. RAID 6 allows for 2 drives to fail at the same time without losing access to your files. The write speed of RAID 6 is slower than RAID 5 because the controller has to calculate 2 parity blocks for every data block.

What is Parity?

Parity is a mathematic algorithm of the data from the other drives in the array that is distributed in block form across the array. See picture below.

The parity is distributed across all of the drives in the array so if 1 or 2 drives fail, they can be replaced at which point the RAID 6 controller will automatically rebuild the drive back into the array. This high level of redundancy and security makes RAID 6 the perfect option for file servers, database, servers, mail servers and web servers that contain critical data that you can't afford to lose. RAID 6 configurations can vary based on the controller and/or how the user decides to set up the array.
